As I scroll through these 69 pages of posts, I "hear" everything on this thread in English accents in my head.

You mean British? We have many different accents in UK

Always makes me laugh how on American shows they have an accent i've actually never heard in real life haha https://www.youtube.com/w...ABo_DCIdpM

Some do terrible accents dick van dyke cockney accent is hysterical. Thanks for the link, that wee guy is awesome at accents

The accent in Le Grind just after P asks "London what does Big Ben say?" is a bit Dick van Dyke

Maybe they will announce a show tinight at very short notice to avoid the queue issues of Wednesday night. Then again maybe there won't be a show as most people are expecting one. Expect the unexpected. As we know this is Prince so anything goes.

I was in the queue at Camden yesterday and mid afternoon we were hearing there was going to be 2 shows. A couple of hours before we went in, we were being told everyone in the queue would get in, so it was planned to do 2 shows quite early on I think.

I was also talking to guy in the queue who was friends with the manager at Ronnie Scott's...there is no way he would have queued for 5 hours at Camden if Ronnie Scott's had been planned.

Finally I really do not beleive that Prince would get turned away from Ronnie Scott's. Can you imagine the doorman refusing him entry ..... come on!

didnt he tell during the press conference earlier this week he wouldt play there...?

he waits with an announcement till monday when everyone is going to work again....

I know what you mean, but even if they just came out and said they will be a show tonight, would keep the buzz going and the fans a little happier! Even for people like me that live up north, which this tour is a bit of a nightmare, its something where we know we will at least be able to hear/read about the show !

I'm up north aswell. Have had a bag packed for a couple of days. Was thinking of going down today on spec but my friend is a bit under the weather & not up to standing in the rain for hours. Could go down tomorrow but would mean taking Monday off and the expense for possibly no outcome. Think we will try and sit tight and wait for poss announcement.

I know, im with you on this, Im hanging back just to see how things evolve on this prince london tour first. I was going to go down today but couldnt sort travel out properly. Been following prince for quite a long time now, so used to the unpredictable nature of his ways, but i still would be surprised if theres no show tonight, or at worse tomorrow!

My guess is Koko's tomorrow night but just a hunch and as we know can't second guess what P will do

I went to the 21nights press conference gig at Koko - best Prince gig I've ever been too! Just the atmosphere in a small venue like that. Similar size to Indigo but I just preferred the layout, sound etc and his set was fab!

Would love it if he did it again, but also wonder about his comments at the press conference this week, about not looking back....

Would he repeat that, having done it before?

Now that it's raining here in London they'll probably announce a gig for tonight so everybody has to stand in the rain for hours in order to get tickets!

I know what you mean. I live about 1.5-2 hours from London, it is now getting to that time when if nothing is announced soon it won't happen.

Lol. I just realized even 'though I visit this site almost every day, I have 'lurked' for eight years and five months and never actually posted!

Same here! Just trying to get info so I can catch my first Prince gig. I've seen so many other excellent concerts in the meantime without having to go through all this time-stealing hype, but I suppose it'll be worth it if/when it ever happens... At my 48 years I'd prefer some advance notice and a civilized on-line ticket sale. Now the sun is out again so at least there'll be no waiting in the rain.

I feel the same way. Have been lucky enough to see Prince in 1990 (Nude tour) and 1992 (Diamonds and Pearls) and also twice at the o2 but the one experience I still very much want to have is to see Prince in an aftershow or small club setting. Am soooo kicking myself that I didn't take advantage of the Indigo at the time (for various reasons). Just would love to tick this one off the list!

Was lucky to see him at the Café de Paris in 1998 - the smallest venue i've seen him at, around 700 capacity. Was a bit odd how i managed to even hear about it let alone order tickets. Still, was a great experience.

You'd be suprised, Venues are begging for him to play, Kiran just tweeted saying basically her emails have been going mad and this pic, the exposure it will bring a venue is worth kicking out a no body to let prince play.

So you're saying, his manager, who used to work in PR, has made a statement showing prime venues are desperate for him to play and has used the "Shoreditch Grand" as an example?

Hmmm, OK.

If I was an agent / promoter who had an artist who found a venue had kicked me out for what they consider a one night PR stunt I would never book them again - VERY shallow.

Stop looking at this as a Prince fan and think objectively. If they're that much in demand, why are they sitting in hotel rooms tonight ?

Probably a coincidence but Matt Everitt, the BBC reporter who went to the press conference on Tuesday has just posted that there is an interview with George Clinton at Shoreditch House at 5pm. Curious.
